##### 17.12.2.5 Referencing multiple help files from contents

The lines in a .cnt file that are clickable links contain equals signs (“=”). The part to the right of the equals sign is the reference string. For example, suppose you are making a contents file called merged.cnt, which is your master contents file modified by inclusion of lines such as the following:

    :include someother.cnt

The reference strings in someother.cnt must specify that the topics they identify are in someother.hlp, else they will be looked for in merged.hlp when they are accessed via merged.cnt. This is done for you if you specify the following, in each configuration file for a secondary .hlp file; it is not needed for the master .hlp file:

    [HelpContents]
    ; AddCntFileName = No (default) or Yes (add to topic ref strings)
    AddCntFileName=Yes
